The Newcastle Eagles made it a double winning weekend with a very solid all-round performance down in Plymouth yesterday afternoon.

Five Eagles in double figures and three adding double figure rebounds as well…
Corey Johnson maintained his sparkling start to life in a Newcastle vest as the super cool Canadian paced a critical win for the under-pressure Eagles.
